Divyendu Sharma is an Indian film actor who shot to fame all over India with his single lead role in Amazon Prime Video’s webseries. He is just like one of us who dares to follow his dreams. He was born and raised in Delhi.
In an interview with TOI, he had said, “In class X, I scored just 49% so had to settle with taking Arts in Class XI. But with Arts, something special happened. I suddenly started liking studies and life changed without having to do Physics and Maths and Chemistry and Biology and I suddenly became a very good student. I passed Class XII with 84%.
My father could not believe it, so much so that he asked if I had faked my mark sheet. I had started liking Political Science so much that I took up Political Science honours in Kirori Mal College (KMC) during graduation. KMC became the most important step in my life as I joined the theatre society there called ‘Players’. I really enjoyed it and was really good at it and it became clear that I wanted to be an actor.
I applied to both NSD and FTII and got through both, but chose FTII as I wanted to do films as against theatre and came to Pune. I passed out in 2006 and came to Mumbai and my struggle began. I struggled for about three-and-a-half years before I got Kumar Mangat’s Pyaar Ka Punchnama and then David Dhawan’s Chashme Baddoor.”
If you think only Munna Tripathi is the best role he has given of his career then you are probably wrong. He did a phenomenal role in Toilet Ek Prem Katha as Naru, Sunda in Batti Gul Meter Chalu and Vijay as Kanpuriye which proves is mettle.
Some of his best dialogues from Mirzapur are mentioned in the post below.
